The Centre for Manuscript Genetics, part of ACDC (the Antwerp Centre for Digital humanities and literary Criticism), builds on a long tradition of literary research at the University of Antwerp while taking the
field’s more recent developments into account by applying digital tools and methodologies to humanities research. ACDC hosts the Beckett Digital Manuscript Project (www.beckettarchive.org), which was recently awarded the /MLA Prize for a Bibliography, Archive, or Digital Project in 2019.
A team of PhDs and postdocs will collaborate in the creation, launch and curation of a digital scholarly edition of James Joyce’s library and unpublished letters. They will interrelate this material to Joyce’s
biography and oeuvre. The PhD candidate will write a dissertation in the area of literary studies and DH.
